Gynaecology

We aim to provide the highest level of care for women of all ages, in a safe and comfortable environment. We want you to feel able to talk to us about any gynaecological issue you might have and ask as many questions as you need to.

Gynaecology services

We have a strong focus on introducing new treatments based on current research at WHRIA. By incorporating this knowledge into our clinical practice, we can offer safe, effective and innovative treatment for women. This is particularly interesting for those women with conditions that have previously been difficult to treat.

Qualifications and training

In Australia, gynaecologists are government-registered specialists with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). After full medical training, gynaecologists complete six years of postgraduate hospital-based training and assessment to obtain membership/fellowship with RANZCOG (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists). Please note we do not offer obstetric services at WHRIA. For more details on our individual gynaecologists, please see the Our Team [W 1] section of this website.

What to expect on your first consultation

You should allow 30 to 45 minutes for your first consultation and wear comfortable, loose clothing as may need to remove some items.

The initial consultation will include a thorough discussion of your medical history, examinations, tests and a discussion of our findings and recommended options for treatment or further tests. We think it’s really important that you play a central and active role in formulating your care plan. We’ll work closely with you to make sure you understand how and why we make our recommendations so that you can make the most informed decision possible.
